In my heart-of-hearts, I am a sailor...a wanderer...a voyager - this blog will hopefully become a useful collection of notes and links to resources that I think other sailors might find interesting or useful.

Goals for 2013

A few goals I have in mind for 2013

Add solar panels

Add wind generator

Modify the sail setup on my dinghy to use a hanked sail- and allow me to raise or lower the sail (currently the sail is the type that you slip over the mast - not ideal when the wind kicks up hard as it can here on the coast)

Add a stern anchor

Some other projects that I probably won't get to in 2013 - but are on the list:

Evaluate wether I should replace the fuel tank [there appears to have been some galvanic corrosion over the years]

Plumb the deck fitting to fill the water tanks [currently I have to raise the boards in the salon to fill directly there]
